Limit maneuvering load factors.

CFR · 2024-01-01 · US · Title 14

(a) Except where limited by maximum (static) lift coefficients, the airplane is assumed to be subjected to symmetrical maneuvers resulting in the limit maneuvering load factors prescribed in this section. Pitching velocities appropriate to the corresponding pull-up and steady turn maneuvers must be taken into account. (b) The positive limit maneuvering load factor (c) The negative limit maneuvering load factor— (1) May not be less than −1.0 at speeds up to (2) Must vary linearly with speed from the value at (d) Maneuvering load factors lower than those specified in this section may be used if the airplane has design features that make it impossible to exceed these values in flight.
